One way I&#39;ve tried that worked nicely was that I only met with my High Groups 2-3 times a week, and the other days they worked in a literature circle/book club format.

As a first year teacher, I was really worried that I wouldn&#39;t be able to do centers on my own, but I will definitely be giving your ideas a try! I tried to access your reading Graphic Organizers, but the link said it couldn&#39;t find them. Did you discontinue them?

I wanted to meet with the students daily and practice reading. I also love the differentiated spelling tests and word lists. You are the first that I have ever seen to do that BUT, it makes so much sense!!

SO grateful that the Reading Specialist at my school shared it w/me, because GOD knows I was getting ready to quit on my first year of teaching (2nd grade too!). I have wanted to implement Centers in my classroom and I&#39;ve been so overwhelmed with the amount of work--no assistance, no lunch break, occasionally a prep time (I work at a private school). It won&#39;t be until now in January that I&#39;ll try some of your ideas. I will start out with maybe 3 centers first and see how it goes and then I&#39;ll be able to add more fun centers! It does sound like a lot of fun for the children and it is my joy to see my students enjoy themselves, especially while they are learning w/out even realizing it! I&#39;ve struggled w/differentiation also, but you give some good tips on here. I hope next year will be better, otherwise, I&#39;m not sure I&#39;ll teach for long...

They receive intervention though, so they all have to be together to receive the intervention. The other groups have 5. :)Jamie (2nd Grade Stuff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08491769246753962221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503687694944701945.post-82338500892384725502013-11-16T19:22:50.915-06:002013-11-16T19:22:50.915-06:00I love how you have managed to meet with all of yo...I love how you have managed to meet with all of your groups each day.
